Running the number line: Rapid shifts of attention in single-digit arithmetic.
Romain Mathieu,Romain Mathieu,Audrey Gourjon,Auriane Couderc,Catherine Thevenot,Catherine Thevenot,Jérôme Prado +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that solving single-digit addition and subtraction, but not multiplication, is associated with horizontal shifts of attention, and support the idea that mental movements to the left or right of a sequential representation of numbers are elicited during single- digit arithmetic.

An investigation of the possible causes of arithmetic difficulties in children with dyscalculia
Jeanne Bagnoud,Romain Mathieu,Jasinta Dewi,Sandrine Masson,Sibylle Gonzalez-Monge,Zumrut Kasikci,Catherine Thevenot +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the performances of two groups of enfants dyscalculiques, i.e., controles and cinquante, in addition and multiplication.

Hippocampal spatial mechanisms relate to the development of arithmetic symbol processing in children.
Romain Mathieu,Justine Epinat-Duclos,Jessica Léone,Michel Fayol,Catherine Thevenot,Jérôme Prado +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the mere perception of a ‘+’ sign elicited grade-related increases of spatial activity in the right hippocampus, which raises the possibility that hippocampal spatial mechanisms help build associations between some arithmetic operators and space throughout age and/or education.
Developmental changes in size effects for simple tie and non-tie addition problems in 6- to 12-year-old children and adults.
TL;DR: For non-tie problems, whereas a general size effect is observed when contrasting small one-digit additions with large additions, it is shown that, from Grade 1 until adulthood, a continuous size effect as a function of the sum of the problems is not observed.
What's Behind a “+” Sign? Perceiving an Arithmetic Operator Recruits Brain Circuits for Spatial Orienting
Romain Mathieu,Romain Mathieu,Justine Epinat-Duclos,Monica Sigovan,Audrey Breton,Anne Cheylus,Michel Fayol,Catherine Thevenot,Jérôme Prado +8 more
TL;DR: The findings support the view that mathematical symbols inherently evoke spatial representations, and not only are some arithmetic operators linked to spatial intuitions, but such intuitions might also have an important role during arithmetic calculation.
